Climbing to the 25th place on our 2023 countdown is the residential development at 1630 S Wabash Avenue in the South Loop. Located just south of the intersection with E 16th Street, the project replaces a long-time vacant lot across the street from Anderson Park. Though no formal renderings have been revealed, it is being led by CMK Companies with Pappageorge Haymes serving as the designer.
Pedro Albizu Campos Apartments, ranking 29th in the year-end countdown, is a nine-story affordable housing project at 1203 N California Avenue, adjacent to Humboldt Park. Occupying the site of a formerly vacant lot, this 83,000-square-foot structure honors the legacy of Puerto Rican activist Pedro Albizu Campos. The Hispanic Housing Development Corporation (HHDC) spearheads the project, collaborating with Pappageorge Haymes for the architectural design. The development will incorporate 2,500 square feet of retail space on the first floor and 64 units of affordable housing on the upper levels.
Initial permits have been issued for the mixed-use development at 424 S Wabash Avenue in the South Loop.

Its foundation and partial superstructure received a permit in late October, while the full construction permit is still pending.
